It has a vent hole that can also be capped. I cranked down on both caps and don't think I smell it anymore.

I have a heavy duty plastic five gallon gas can. No matter how much I tighten the cap, I can still smell gas. It looks like the container is in good shape, but I can't seem to get rid of the odor. The only place I have to store the gas can is in a small garage. I wonder how much vapor is...

From their website, it looks like Fishon Fabrication does some really nice work!

Where are the best places to get deck hatches?

The width at the floor is 51". I am not near the boar right now and don't know the beam. Since the sides are sloped I don't know how to rivet to it. I would have to be able to bend the metal to match the slope.

You are correct. It costs less per cubic foot to buy the sheets at Lowes, and it would be much easier to remove if I needed to fix a rivet or wanted to reconfigure my boat. Thank you for pointing this out to me.

Thanks!

Do you have any links to foam products that you like?

That looks great! I would like to do something like that. I don't know what most of those components in your picture are called. Could you make a list of the components in your picture, using trade names if possible, so I can research more about how to do this?

I want to add foam for flotation, and was trying to figure out what to use. I was searching around the Internet and found this. I wonder if anyone here gas used this, or something similar. I would like feedback from the Tin Boat Men. https://www.aeromarineproducts.com/boat-foam.htm...

I want to add a deck over part of my boat, but don't know what to anchor to. I could span the width of the boat with aluminum angles, but how would I anchor the angles to the sides of the boat? The angles that span the width of the boat would be a few inches below the tops of the sides.

Let me guess, you would do it all over again. Right?

Does that mean running parallel to the waves?

If you were out in rough water and bad waves break over the side, I guess it is pretty unpredictable what it would take to keep up.

When selecting a bilge pump, is bigger better? From looking at the bilge pump selections at The Academy, you can get bilge pumps rated anywhere from 360 to 1200 GPM, all about the same price. Is there any disadvantage of having the bilge pump with the largest capacity?
